I thought it would before I started using ChatGPT and Midjourney for work and realised that they are not killing, they're boosting my work.
I don't think that AI is anywhere near being as good as humans in terms of creativity. For now it's a tool that makes the boring parts of creative process much easier. And I think it's likely to stay that way for two reasons:
- AI doesn't have an understanding of the quality of the outcome of its creative process and so can't learn as effeciently as humans. Creative work does not always have objective criteria on why something is awesome or not
- AI also has limited data. It only combines elements it's been fed and that dataset is very limited. Humans as a species (not individuals) possess a lot more knowledge, they also have different dataset limitations (which can influence their creative output) — something AI is unlikely to replicate.
In other words: AI may win a creative battle with an individual human but won't be able to beat us as a species.
AI has the same input data and so is limited in the variable it can produce as output.
Humans' input data has much more variables and therefore wins in a number of possible outcomes.

It's a double-edged sword. If it kills current jobs new ones are bound to pop up, so no.

Creativity is definitely not, but job opportunities may be yes.
AI still requires humans to define directions. It's like being the director of your film, instead of you working on everything alone, just set directions and AI will make it happen for you.

I believe this will happen In only a few industries. Some individuals are safe, where as others are not. Ben Shapiro has a video about this question being researched.

I believe in certain repetitive and easy-to-do jobs it will happen eventually.
But in creative work, you can never underestimate the unique touch a human can give to a product, email, text etc.
